The Harlem Shake is an Internet meme in the form of a video in which a group of people dance to a short excerpt from the song "Harlem Shake". The meme became viral in early February 2013,[2] with thousands of "Harlem Shake" videos being made and uploaded to YouTube every day at the height of its popularity.[3]

The meme usually features participants performing flailing or convulsive movements usually dressed in outlandish costumes while wielding unexpected props.[4][5] The meme form was established in a video uploaded on January 30, 2013, by YouTube personality George Miller on his DizastaMusic channel. The video featured the character "Pink Guy" from The Filthy Frank Show entitled "Filthy Compilation #6 – Smell My Fingers",[6][7][8] which featured a section where several costumed people danced to the song "Harlem Shake" by Baauer.[9] The video opens with the first use of the Harlem Shake meme,[3][6] and started a viral trend of people uploading their own "Harlem Shake" videos to YouTube.[10]

Despite its name, the meme does not actually involve participants performing the original Harlem Shake dance, a street and hip hop dance that originated in 1980s Harlem, New York City.
